Bring learning to life. Help young people rediscover their spark.

At Inaura School, we believe that learning should be inspiring, relational, and rooted in trust. We’re a small, specialist SEMH school nestled in the Somerset countryside, working 1:1 with extraordinary young people who need something different.

What will I be doing?

We’re looking for a full-time Design & Technology Workshop Tutor to deliver creative, hands-on sessions for students aged 8–18. You’ll lead from a fully-equipped, bespoke workshop, working closely with each learner to build skills, confidence, and a sense of pride in what they create.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Leading practical D&T projects in wood, metal, and other materials.
• Designing creative learning experiences that meet each student where they are.
• Building meaningful relationships with young people.
• Creating a structured, safe, and inspiring workshop environment.
• Collaborating with teachers, therapists, and support staff.
• Helping students discover they can achieve things they never thought possible.

What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?

We’re Looking For Someone Who:

• Is confident using tools, machines, and materials.
• Has experience working with young people with SEMH needs.
• Can stay calm and consistent under pressure.
• Believes in creative, flexible, relationship-led learning.
• Is ready to join a close-knit, values-driven team.

What is in it for me?
